Claim 1

IN A DEVICE FOR PROVIDING A VISUAL PRESENTATION OF STORED INTELLIGENCE, A PLURALITY OF MULTI-APERTURE MAGNETIC CORES OF SQUARE LOOP MAGNETIC MATERIAL, EACH INCLUDING A MAJOR APERTURE, A MINOR INPUT APERTURE AND A MINOR OUTPUT APERTURE, A DRIVE CIRCUIT FOR SAID CORES, INCLUDING A DRIVE SOURCE TO SUPPLY PULSES OF SUFFICIENT ENERGY TO SET OR CLEAR SAID CORES, A PLURALITY OF SWITCHES, EACH CONNECTED IN PARALLEL TO SAID SOURCE AND IN SERIES TO A SEPARATE DRIVE LEAD LINKNG A PLURALITY OF CORES THROUGH THE MAJOR APERTURE THEREOF AND THROUGH THE MINOR INPUT APERTURE THEREOF IN A SENSE TO SET SAID SEVERAL CORES INTO A STATE OF MAGNETIZATION WHEREIN APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE FLUX OF THE CORE IS ORIENTED IN ONE DIRECTION AND APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE FLUX IN SAID CORE IS ORIENTED IN AN OPPOSITE DIRECTION RELATIVE TO CLOSED FLUX PATHS SURROUNDING SAID MAJOR APERTURE, THE SAID SWITCHES AND ASSOCIATED DRIVE LEADS LINKING DIFFERENT ONES OF SAID CORES TO FORM DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF SET CONDITIONS IN SAID PLURALITY OF CORES, AN OUTPUT WINDING LINKING THE MINOR OUTPUT APERTURE OF EACH CORE AND CONNECTED TO AN INDICATING DEVICE AND A FURTHER DRIVE WINDING LINKING SAID MINOR OUTPUT APERTURE TO APPLY A DRIVE THERETO OPERABLE TO ENERGIZE SAID OUTPUT WINDING AND AN INDICATING DEVICE CONTINUOUSLY WHEN A CORE IS SET BUT NOT WHEN A CORE IS CLEARED, AND MEANS TO CLEAR THOSE OF THE PLURALITY OF CORES NOT SET BY A GIVEN SWITCH.
